this problem is long standing and unreported since didn't know but just tried racy beta2 and found out how good it can be when it works correctly.

racy auto-detects 1920x1080 display with a HDMI cable connected to external monitor AND fills the width of my computer monitor. How sweet!

slacko auto-detects 1024x768 with a HDMI output to large screen but the computer display monitor has a diminished width.

slacko highest can choose is 1600x900 and computer display is full width but cannot get HDMI output to external screen. kind of box looking and 1024x768 is only resolution can get to work with external monitor.

I installed slacko today on my old notebook and OOB all run very well. Then I installed "zim" (a desktop wiki) from the salix repos. The installation with the neccessary dependencies was working without any error message, but after the installation ZIM won't start. Nothing happens!

I installed zim on several other boxes with Salix and also with native slackware 13.x so I know, that the app works fine. Can someone give me a hint, how to solve the problem under slacko???

You will notice after you run flsynclient there is a Xdialog which pops up asking if your touchpad settings are ok. if you answered "yes" then run flsynclient again and answer "no". restart X. I have the issue with the main version on my r51 Thinkpad and this resolves the issue.

Thanks for the the welcome and the help 01micko. My problem is that at no stage do I ever see the Xdialog you are referring to. Even on a fresh frugal install with no savefile loaded. Any ideas? In desperation I've tried editing the xorg.conf file directly. I can speed up the touchpad but can't get tapping for mouseclick functionality.

... Usually touchpad on my netbook works pretty well with default puppy setting, but with slacko had to turn everything up because touchpad response and movement was terribly slow compared to other puppies. But that I could fix.

How did you fix the slow touchpad? I have had no luck with the configure touchpad tool. usb mouse works fine. Thanks.

Thanks again

There is a file, /etc/$TOUCHPAD-configured, where TOUCHPAD= synaptic, elantech or alps. Delete it and try again.

The script is at /usr/sbin/flsynclient-wrappper. I probably should remove the creation of /etc/${TOUHCPAD}-configured as flsynclient is usually only run the once or twice and that little nag screen is not too intrusive.

Whenever they became available I always made use of the ++ or PAE hi mem version of Slacko during testing.
However my main computer is older than two years and 'only' has 2GB of ram. I run from DVD and set up a 4GB save file, so this time I stuck with the standard Slacko . . .

I have noticed that Seamonkey after a lot of use and a lot of open tabs does slow down and eventually stop responding, something I did not notice previously during beta and RC stage using the PAE.

Is there any other advantage of PAE? Should I go over to that to see if it works as before?
